DAVIS, Calif. - The UC Davis men's tennis team is the No. 5 seed at this week's Big West Tournament. The Aggies will face No. 4 UC Santa Barbara in Friday's first round action at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden in Indian Wells, Calif.
All six Big West teams will take part in the championship. Pacific is the top seed followed by UC Irvine, Cal Poly, UCSB, UC Davis and UC Riverside. Cal Poly and UCR will square off in Friday's other first round match.
UC Davis faced UCSB in mid-February when the Gauchos won 5-2 at the Marya Welch Tennis Center. Nick Lopez and Nic Amaroli each picked up wins in that match. UCSB was ranked No. 58 at the time. The Gauchos currently hold a No. 79 ranking.
The winner of the UC Davis/UC Santa Barbara match will face Pacific in Saturday's semifinals. The championship concludes Sunday with the winner receiving the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
